Re: Degree of Spine Tilt
 

Thanks!

Our bodies are very good at finding a way to do what we ask. Unfortunately, in achieving a strenuous move like the golf stroke, forces may be re-directed to structures that cannot sustain the load.

I would encourage anyone who has the financial means to schedule time with a golf-specific trainer. The cost is similar to lessons from a golf professional, and like a good golf pro, they will be able to create a plan that is appropriate for you.

The trainer I am seeing is a physical therapist and 3.7 index player. My visits with him have made a huge impact on my physical condition and golf stroke (and my understanding of both).

Has anyone tried the flexibility tests on the first link? These would be good for an instructor to know and possibly administer prior to starting with students.

I have, and I think they're good for letting you know where you need to improve your flexibility; you can go right to the source instead of stretching everything else and missing it.

Neutral Spine
 

What exercises do you do to help maintain a neutral spine throughout the golf stroke (crunches etc.)?
